df.world_data.xml world_geo_layer.vein_unk_38 is probably abundance

The current comment 'density??' does not seem correct, as the same material can have different values in different layers. My guess after looking at the info is that it's some kind of "random" number to guide the amount of the material generated. I looked at a random embark that, unfortunately, ended up having two biomes rather than one (my layer examination looks only at the biome of the embark world tile). 4 small cluster gem types were found in the same layer of the 3*3 embark's geo biome and 'prospect all' was used to get the actual count. Name vein_unk_38 actual count Smoky Quartz; 23; 346 Green Tourmaline; 56; 608 Clear Zircon; 26; 369 Opal Redflash; 73; 955 A guess is that the number roughly controls the number of clusters/veins and that random development of those yield the exact numbers. The lowest number I've seen was 3 and the highest was 100, so a further guess is that it's a percentage.
